Sharing one
Monitor with multiple computers
Cables: For the manual switches, to connect between the computer and the
switchbox, Use M1337, or for longer lengths, use M1327. The monitor should be able to plug into the
switch. If an extension is needed, use M1339, or
for longer lengths, use M1329. The electronic
switch would use the M1339 or M1329 for all connections.

Cables: Since not all KVM switches are designed the same, please click
the item and see what cables it uses on its information page.
Sharing one parallel printer with
multiple computers (without a network) Please note: For
switches that are NOT IEEE1284 compliant, the IEEE1284 interface would need to
be disabled on the printer. Manual switches will not support the IEEE1284
interface. Only certain auto switches support the interface. - Using
DB25s Cables: To connect between the computer and the
switchbox, use M2131, or for longer lengths, use ADP3231 and L0505 (the ADP3231 is not IEEE1284 Compliant). Then to connect from the
switchhbox to the printer, use M2256.
- Alternative configuration Using CN36s Cables: To connect between the computer and the
switchbox, use M2256, or for longer lengths, use ADP3230 and L0505 (the ADP3230 is not IEEE1284 Compliant). Then to connect from the
switchbox to the printer, use M2200.
- Alternative configuration for using Parallel printer cables all
around Cables: The M2256 is
used from computer to switch and from switch to printer. For longer distances,
use ADP3230 and L0505 (the ADP3230 is not IEEE1284 Compliant).
.
Sharing one serial (RS232) device
with multiple computers Switches with all DB25
Females Cables: For
Manual switches, to connect between the computer and the switchbox, use M1371 (or M2132 if the
computer has a DB25 serial port). Then if connecting to a Modem or other DCE
configured device, use M2131, or for a serial
printer or other DTE configured device, use M2161.
Since not all auto switches are designed the same, please click on the auto
switch and see what cables it uses on its information page.
Sharing USB devices with multiple
computers Cables: The M2404 is used from computer to switch and from switch
to peripherals. For longer distances, add the USB extender, part number ADP31802-16 or ADP31802-40.
Our ADP3184 can be also used to extend a USB signal
through a Cat 5 cable.
Sharing multiple monitors
with one computer Splitters can be used to broadcast the VGA to
multiple monitors simultaneously, or a switch box could be used to display one
monitor at a time. Cables: To connect between the computer and the
switchbox, use M2131. Then to connect from the
switchbox to the printer, use M2256, or for longer
distances, use ADP3230 and L0505 (the ADP3230 is not
IEEE1284 Compliant).

Cables: Since not all KVM switches are designed the same, please click
the item and see what cables it uses on its information page.
Sharing multiple printers with one
computer (single parallel port) Please note: For switches
that are NOT IEEE1284 compliant, the IEEE1284 interface would need to be
disabled on the printer. Manual switches will not support the IEEE1284
interface. Only certain auto switches support the interface. - Using
DB25s Cables: To connect between the computer and the
switchbox, use M2131. Then to connect from the
switchbox to the printer, use M2256, or for longer
distances, use ADP3230 and L0505 (the ADP3230 is not
IEEE1284 Compliant).

switchbox to the printer, use M2200.
- Alternative configuration for using Parallel printer cables all
around Cables: The M2256 is used from computer to switch and from switch
to printer. For longer distances, use ADP3230 and L0505 (the ADP3230 is not
IEEE1284 Compliant).
Sharing multiple serial (RS232)
devices with one computer (single serial port) Switches
with all DB25 Females Cables: To connect between the computer and the
switchbox, use M1371 (or M2132 if the computer has a DB25 serial port). Then if
connecting to a Modem or other DCE configured device, use M2131, or for a serial printer or other DTE configured
device, use M2161.
Sharing multiple USB devices with
one computer A switchbox is only needed when USB devices need to
be isolated; otherwise USB hubs will allow
multiple USB devices to work to one computer. Cables:
The M2404 is used from computer to switch and from
switch to peripherals. For longer distances, add the USB extender, part number
ADP31802-16. Our ADP3184 can be
also used to extend a USB signal through a Cat 5
cable.
